Europe and the West in general are coming up short here again. Yet this would be a federation actually worth joining. And we wouldn't even need politicians for it. That could happen straight at the grassroots level. We own the most Bitcoin and do the least with it to gain freedom. We Westerners are just a bunch of brainwashed, fiat-rich, spoiled fat cats with no drive or flexibility. View quoted note โ†’

Spare us your New Year's resolutions. We all know how long those last.

That's some seriously impressive work, respect. image But at the same time, it's sad to see that even with the best and most consistent content on Nostr, you still can't make a living off it. At least not in the West. Either we all take way too many things for granted and we're being cheapskates, or there are just way too few of us here. So totally irrelevant. View quoted note โ†’

I know, people here like to celebrate that sparse dozen or so sellers who are offering stuff on Nostr, none of which is on my personal shopping list. But has anyone tracked how many sellers have dropped off from here in the last year or two? I can think of two or three just like that. You can cheer on 'Price Up/Down' all you want, but the fact is, we're failing miserably right now at building a circular economy based on Bitcoin. And that means we're also failing to live up to Bitcoin's promise of freedom. And if we can't make it happen here on Nostr, then nowhere. Not that we look back in 15 years and think, yeah, that was a nice collective dream back then, but it just didn't work out.

Listening to other people's ideas should cost money. Whenever someone comes up with "I got an idea" and they wanna dump it on you, they should have to pay up. "What? You got an idea? Interesting! I'd love to hear it. 10โ‚ฌ please into the cash box right here on the table in front of me." I'd be a rich man today, RICH.
